This problem is differently present with Mageia 3's desktop kernel 3.8.13.4. The ttys are left usable on startx exit, but the exit log X prints to screen is scrambled from mismatch between character size and line length. I don't know whether to try older kernels, or newer, even if I knew where to find any. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
